You could be right, Chris.
I have a photo which was taken in the 1920s in the Otterspool area.
The original glass slide was captioned "Jeremiah Horrocks' Birthplace".
Obviously, it can't be the Lower Lodge, and I was always mystified by it until I recently saw a photo (of Jericho Lane, I think) with a similar building, but from a different angle.
